Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The three things Texas needs from Shane Buechele..)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I was unaware the first string defense was better in scrimmage 2 and the tie was due to the 2nd string. I apologize and completely admit my mistake.
In an effort to say something positive, your GOT feelings mirrored mine through the episode. My heart hurt for Dany when she lost a dragon and immediately went to "Oh damn, it's going to get turned!"
So does this mean you are going back on your prediction, or are you officially claiming to be a troll on this?
Is the whole 2nd string vs. 2nd string angle of the second scrimmage common knowledge at this point? Y'all are talking like it is. Maybe I missed it in a previous OB article.
@Ketchum
"FC" (then) "Barcelona"
It's Fútbol Club Barcelona. Ya gotta respect that the squad's home language and the order of the name/letters. No writer, English or otherwise, messes with the order. I know your reds (and most if not all EPL squads) have FC after the city name, but Barcelona does not. I hope you understand my reluctance to read anything on the topic after that error, much as I would if you gave me your take on the "Texas University Longhorns." (be honest, reading that bothered the s$&t out of you, didn't it?). Love the soccer takes, but it's gotta be better.

He will eventually get his 4th star this fall.Ghirmai brings down our average commit rating, we pass him over to UCLA right? Gotta keep our 2nd place ranking
THIS! It will be a huge part of the offense--this year. Herman does not have just one offense that he forces talent into. He adjusts to talent.
Herman will be here for the next 20. His style of coaching would not go over in the NFL as new to the league. Jimmy is gone, Belichek is well Belichek and has reputation in the league and results. Herman will turn us around and will relish in being Texas being pinnacle program.
Agree, @Ketchum is high. Herman is college football's next 20 year dynasty HC. He'll be at Texas until he's secured a statute and a place in the HOF.
A list might help.
1. Barca is known for its ability to basically do what it pleases, when it pleases and with whom it pleases. It can use questionable tactics sketchy tactics because at the end of the day, it's barca and there usually are not any pieces in place that can stop them.
2. Well, PSG kind of did to Barca what it does to everyone else.
3. Ironically, despite all of it's Neymar money to spend (in theory), it hasn't found the marketplace ripe because teams are not bending over for them, regardless of the tactics it tries to use. There's been some dirty stuff going on behind the scenes, pushed forward with Barca's planning, but it hasn't opened the doors for a deal. Quite the contrary, actually.
4. Not knowing how to react to teams not willing to be bullied, Barca issued a threat over the weekend that it would pull an offer that was rejected in five seconds if Liverpool didn't change it's mind by a Sunday deadline.
5. That deadline passed without Liverpool so much as responding to it.
Thanks... what does "an offer" mean in number 4? An offer to buy another player's contract?
One thing that fails to get mentioned enough when discussing Shane's poor late season performances was the predictability of the play calling from Sterlin. My friends and I could predict almost every play call, it was that bad. Kansas DB's were sitting on the routes. No adjustments made. Shane was hurt immensely by this.
This is the exact reason I don't see Herman to Cowboys. I think the timing was perfect for Herman to tell the Texas Brass, "If I come to Texas, here's my list of changes and things I want done and money I want spent to do it with..."
That ain't happening with Jerry because I would imagine Herman's first demand would be locking every Jones out of the draft war room.
They sent an offer to buy the player from the club. It was an offer Liverpool didn't want or ask for.
I have mentioned the questionable coaching and lack of trust it had in Shane quite a bit. The coaches played with Shane as if they were scared to let him open things up.
Agree, I see him more as a college coach. Not that he can't succeed in the NFL. I jut think he can be one of the greats in college.
I already had that argument with Ketchum a few months ago. I think he forgot that Texas scored about 35 points in that game, and a lot of it was due to the quarterback.
There's just not enough data in the world I could have that would convince some of you.
I'm trying to stay away from second week proclamations after they have failed the last two seasons. United looks great, though. Martial emerging is a big deal.What, no discussion on United sitting atop the table? @CS
Smart move. Martial showing up, Pogba looking to really hit his stride, Lukaku playing better than many assumed, Matic unlocking the whole scheme....#feelsgood
I'd love to see them play someone with a pulse in the first two months of the season.
